Notes

If you’re short on time, skipping the browning step is an option.
Dry Marsala Wine is recommended for best flavor, but you can substitute with low-sodium chicken broth for a different taste.
For alternative wine options, consider Sherry, Madeira, Dry White Wine, or Port.
Use an Instant Read Thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165˚F for doneness.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
